🐶🐾𝟱 𝗗𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 🐾🐶
We have had ZERO interest in these sweet little puppies. NOT A SINGLE INQUIRY. 💔

They didn’t ask to be born, yet another unwanted litter, or to be dumped and left to die, or to end up sleeping in a concrete run every night in a noisy shelter, confused, scared and longing for someone to love them and give them the home and family that they deserve.

These puppies need homes. Please consider adopting if you are looking for a 4-legged friend.

🙏🏻And PLEASE share. They desperately need homes 🏡

We need to give a shout out to some of the individuals who helped take the generous 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐝 Memorial donation from the 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐝 family and turn our dream of a cat condo into reality.

😻𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥, for all of the months of your tireless work on this project. Your dedication to AWOL does not go unnoticed. We appreciate you! 🙏🏻

😻𝐃𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥, for always lending a hand as well as your expertise on this installation and for always helping us get things done!

😻𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐚-for the installation of our cat condo. It looks great! Thank you! Contact Dalton if you need a fence, patio, deck OR a cat condo!

𝐅𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐞 🩷

𝐃𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐞 is continuing to thrive in her foster home, and her foster mom says after more than a week with no accidents, it’s fair to say she’s potty trained 🥳 She also says 𝐃𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐞:

• is good on a leash 🐕‍🦺 she gets excited to get out the door, but walks well thereafter
• is crate trained ✔️
• loves dog puzzles 🧩
• is energetic, but after a walk is ready to snuggle with you and her favorite toy 🥰
• LOVES toys 😍
• knows the basic commands 🤓
• gets along with cats 😺

What a good and well-rounded girl! We are so proud of and happy for 𝐃𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐞, but would love even more for her to find her forever home! If you are interested in 𝐃𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐞, click the link below to submit an application!

It has been MONTHS in the making, but the big reveal has finally arrived!! Behold... the 𝐜𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨! 😻

This beautiful project came to fruition thanks to the generosity of the 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲, who chose to honor the memory of 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐝, a quiet, longtime 𝐀𝐖𝐎𝐋 supporter who loved all animals, but especially her beloved cat, 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐝.

𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 is pictured here with 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐝. 🐈‍⬛❤️

The 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 chose 𝐀𝐖𝐎𝐋 as a memorial because of Sherry's lifelong passion for helping animals, and her son, 𝐒𝐚𝐦, knew that a cat condo would be the perfect project to honor her memory. 🐈‍⬛🐈♥️

What her son 𝐒𝐚𝐦 may not know is just how many years 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 had been quietly supporting 𝐀𝐖𝐎𝐋. In fact, she eventually asked us to stop sending thank-you cards because she received them so often! 🥹🥰 That little detail says so much about the kind of person she was.

𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 was a very private person who made a tremendous impact on our little shelter. We are incredibly grateful for her many years of generosity and support. She will be missed, but she will never be forgotten. ♥️

And now, her love for animals will continue to make a difference in the lives of so many more. The cat condo is going to bring our feline friends hours of entertainment, enrichment, and a beautiful view. You can even sit inside and enjoy watching them!
What a wonderful way to honor a woman whose quiet generosity meant so much to us. ❤️🐾

And then there were 𝟱.
6 dumped puppies ended up at 𝐀𝐖𝐎𝐋. One was adopted tonight but 𝟱 are still sleeping in a concrete run every night dreaming of a home and a loving family of their own.
